Relief Possible Without Back Surgery

Medicine notices that back pain relief is feasible non—surgicall! Apple Country Chiropractic is enthusiastic to see this latest back pain treatment study. A group of medical doctors followed patients with lumbar disc herniations (most at L4-5 and L5-S1). These patients averaged 38 years old, just the age that spinal research reports as average for back pain sufferers to have a bad case of back pain that’s been building for years. These patients hurt with low back pain and sciatica that went into one or both legs. Many patients had previously tried physiotherapy and other medical treatment unsuccessfully before this trial.
